Author Topic: I'm considering starting a blog/writing comedy...honest opinions (Read 5750 times)

BigCyp · « **on:** May 15, 2013, 03:32:29 PM »

I've had quite a few pm's since i've posted here, encouraging me to try my hand and writing comedy/staring some kind of blog.

I've learned that the Thunderdome is pretty much the most honest place on the planet, so please don't hold back.

Considering I only really give half of what I write here much thought anyway - do I have what it takes to write???

My sister has recently been signed by a huge publisher, as a result of her own writing online - so I figured there could be some decent coin involved - hence this thread

I already stole half your material here and bought myself another yacht.

Lots of money in the gay erotica market after 50 shades, use that work holiday break for a trip to Uganda for inspiration.

Thanks- did not read.

You should. I'm thinking of starting standup perhaps.

BigCyp · « **Reply #7 on:** May 15, 2013, 03:42:23 PM »

Off to bed fellas - hopefully my dreams are shattered by the time I read this thread in the morning.

Sleep tight (obviously not you shizzo, sleep gaped as usual).

Go for it man!

Try it sitting down first, in case you don't like it.

That joke would nearly provoke a lol, if you weren't so excited to post it you wrote 'wind' instead of would.

This creative venture will be good for you even if not financially rewarding. Good luck.

Sorry, I was distracted. The wind was making my gape whistle.

BigCyp · « **Reply #14 on:** May 15, 2013, 03:53:32 PM »

Thanks bro, some good points there. Don't watch the lazy writing style, as I mentioned, I don't go over my posts once typed for the first time.

I spent around 6 years working for Local Government before being involved in Shipping. 25% of my day job involved editing the Council's press releases, so I can write perfectly when required.

Maybe you can lend Cyp some advice on running a kickstarter and begging for money from getbiggers like a dust-covered child laborer in early industrial London?

snx · « **Reply #18 on:** May 15, 2013, 05:23:41 PM »

Would read and likely LOL. BigCyp is a man I would buy a beer for in the pub and then laugh as he shames me with verbal assaults.

No. Perfectly honest. I like you and think you are a cool dude, but I find you repetitive.

Just do a trial run and reassess.

King Shizzo · « **Reply #22 on:** May 15, 2013, 05:38:15 PM »

Looks like BigCyp isnt as high on the foodchain as he thinks.

Big Chiro Flex · « **Reply #23 on:** May 15, 2013, 07:16:28 PM »

Go for it bro. If its just for shits and giggles, why not. You have a solid career, beautiful family, a well rounded life. This could be a fun hobby for you.

When it comes down to pure comedy wit, BigCyp is king.

You really think so ?

I got nothing against cyp, but he did say be brutally honest...not kiss his ass. 99% of his posts are refried squad insults circa 2007, at at times quite clunky to read....or the ubiquitous "Ugandan sailor". Show some range, and different writings styles....not the same shit every day if you want to interest people soley on your writing.
